The Eggerhaus impresses even upon approach with its striking facade adorned with pseudo-sgraffito paintings from three different eras, its imposing log construction with small windows, and its large shingle roof with prominent chimney stacks. It is an outstanding example of Salzburg-Upper Austrian carpentry, recognizable by its elaborate timber joints such as dovetail joints and the typical decorative carving.

Access is via a modern extension built on the site of the former stable building. From here, one reaches the restrooms and the multifunctional event space, which was renovated in 2017. A historic tiled stove from the early 19th century and an old wooden floor create a harmonious connection between modern use and the historic building fabric. The room can accommodate 50 to 90 people and forms the transition to the museum area.

Through a historic door, one enters the vestibule with its impressive architecture and selected artifacts from the Eggerhaus. The adjoining parlor is considered the heart of the house: featuring an 18th-century timber-framed ceiling and furniture from the second half of the 19th century. Adjacent to this are the parlor, the kitchen, and other authentically preserved rooms.
A steep spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, where the dark rooms, aged wood, and original scent create a palpable sense of stepping back in time. The High Parlor – the cultural and historical heart of the house – is particularly noteworthy, featuring original furnishings from the first half of the 18th century, including early Viechtau farm chests dating from 1729. Other rooms, such as the drying room, the weaving room, and the front room, offer insights into rural life of centuries past.

The Eggerhaus is a unique historical architectural gem that impressively combines architecture, craftsmanship and everyday culture.
